In September, U.S. employers added only <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/pdf\/empsit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">142,000 jobs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, well below the 200,000 or more most economists had expected. People aren\u2019t getting raises and fewer adults have jobs or want to work.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is our second-straight bad report. Last month, economists mostly dismissed the gloomy August jobs data because late-summer employment typically looks bad at first and is revised up later. That didn\u2019t happen this year. Job growth was worse than we thought in August, according to the Labor Department, and surprisingly low in September.
